For about a year now we've been looking for a time when all 3 girls were home at the same time and had their hair done the way they like it. We finally realized that might never happen. Either they're not all home or their hair isn't "right." Yesterday 2 of the 3 girls were ready and eager to try on my wedding dress, so we pulled it out and unsealed it. It hadn't been out in almost 25 years! As we pulled it out of the box, it took my breath away. It was just as beautiful as I remembered, and the girls were so excited to finally see it for themselves. First Bethany, and then Laura tried it on. I didn't cry, but it really was touching to see them. And it was bittersweet, of course, to realize that it once fit me and now it fits my girls. I don't know if any of our girls will choose to wear it oneday. I don't want them to feel any pressure to do so. But for a few minutes, they each felt like Cinderella, and it was touching to see how beautiful they looked in something that's so special to me. Today, it's Amy's turn!
